What to do if your home isn't selling
Price is the No. 1 culprit

| Santa Clarita living at its best: A Home in Santa Clarita |
Whether you're in a bone-dry market or a sizzling selling season, if you haven't received any offers on your home you're probably facing the question of whether to take it off the market. A house that goes too long without selling begins to appear "stale" and can actually damage your future chances of a sale.
Take a second look at your listing price. Visit open houses in your neighborhood. Are similar homes priced lower? Selling prices may have dropped since your first comparative market analysis. (See recent home sales in your area) In a hot market, if you haven't sold your home within one month, chances are good that you've overpriced it. If you do lower your asking price, consider a figure slightly below those of other comparable homes if you are interested in a speedy sale.
For all the time and effort that goes into buying and selling, the economics of the process is relatively simple. Anything is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay and a seller willing to accept.

With Assist-2-Sell's reduced commission marketing programs, you may be able to price your home more competitively and reach your goal of selling your home. Selling your home with Assist-2-Sell will give a greater net to you then you would receive by selling your home with a higher commission, traditional agent.
The most obvious difference between Assist-2-Sell and "traditional" real estate companies lies in the commission structure. Traditional firms typically charge home sellers a high commission that is a percentage of the sale price. (Example: Six percent). Assist-2-Sell offices charge a low, flat fee commission. They believe that Friends Don't Let Friends Pay 6%®.
With Assist-2-Sell, home sellers are also given a choice as to how their home is marketed.
The $5,995 Direct-to-Buyer® Program:
As the name implies, the Direct-to-Buyer program markets a home seller’s home directly to home buyers. This differs from "traditional" marketing programs that rely primarily on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to market homes. While the MLS is a powerful marketing tool, it is expensive and not always necessary. Many home sellers prefer the Direct-to-Buyers program because it gives Assist-2-Sell the opportunity to find a buyer through its own marketing efforts.
The "MLS for Less"® Program:

This program adds the benefits of the MLS, while still offering home sellers the opportunity to pay only the low, flat fee should the home buyer purchase directly through Assist-2-Sell. Under this program, a low commission is typically added to the cost. (Example: 2.5 percent) If an MLS agent brings the home buyer, they receive the 2.5 percent—Assist-2-Sell receives only their low, flat fee.
Both programs are designed to offer home sellers choices and to save them money. Regardless of which program a seller chooses, they still enjoy full-service.
